Description:
This is not so much related to texinfo itself, but to the packages that depend on it. I would love to remove the texinfo package (which includes the hooks for updating the info database) on a low-end system running Arch Linux (actually archlinux ARM, but that doesn't matter, because the dependencies are the same). Unfortunately, several packages require texinfo as runtime dependency, most importantly two libraries, libidn and libtasn1, which are indirect dependencies of pacman and systemd. From my understanding, texinfo should only be required at package creation and for reading info pages. So, theoretically, it shouldn't be an issue to make the runtime a buildtime dependency. Or is there another reason I am missing that requires texinfo at runtime? Additional info: * texinfo 6.1-4 * libidn 1.32-1 * libtasn1 4.8-2 |
This task depends upon

I just noticed that the hooks rebuild is still in progress. So
that might be the reason why the dependency cannot be dropped
right now.
